Renal Survival and Validation of Novel International Immunoglobulin a Nephropathy Prediction Tool in Latvian Population: Preliminary Data

2021

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine kidney survival and validate the novel international immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) prediction tool (PT) in the Latvian population. Adults with morphologically confirmed IgAN were included. Kidney survival was analysed with the Kaplan–Meier method. PT-assigned risk was compared with calculated risk by the Cox regression model. The Kaplan–Meier analysis included 95 patients. The five-year kidney survival Q3 was 24 months. Women had longer median kidney-survival time (> 60 months) than men (58 months). Median kidney survival in participants with MEST T0 was longer than 60 months; T1 and T2 were 40 and 18 months, respectively. Median kidne…

MO945SERUM AND URINE LEUCINE RICH ALPHA-2-GLYCOPROTEIN-1 IS ASSOCIATED WITH KIDNEY TRANSPLANT INJURY AND FAILURE

2021

Abstract Background and Aims Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for most of the patients with end stage chronic kidney disease. To improve patient and graft survival, early diagnostics and discovery of specific biomarkers is important. Leucine rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG-1) is an innovative, non-invasive biomarker that is elevated in case of angiogenesis, inflammation and kidney injury. Aim was to evaluate biomarker LRG-1 level in serum and urine in kidney transplant recipients in accordance with kidney injury markers and time period after kidney transplantation. Method In the study 35 patients were enrolled. Patients had functioning kidney grafts and they were more than…
